Default Remote Start & Body Module

*originally posted this on the wrong forum so re-posting*

Has anyone had an after market remote start installed on their A7?
I took my 2014 A7 in this morning to a local after market installer who assured me they could install a Flash Logic remote starter in my A7 (which would work with the factory key fob). Turns out they can't equip the car with with a remote start because they say that Flash Logic doesn't offer the correct information for the vehicle regarding location of the body module.
Has anyone installed a remote start in their A7, if so which brand did you use and did you have to use a separate key fob for the remote? I'm hoping to find another installer who is familiar with installing a remote starter into the A7.

Thanks

Check out Idatalink.com , they make a plug an play system with a T-Harness I have it installed on my 2013 A7 works great. I can use factory remote to start it or I have the cell phone app so I can start it anywhere in the US.

I went with this model and this T-harness listed below. I have the cellphone app added so I don't have another key fob.

CMVWXA0

ADS-THR-AU2

If you want to have another key fob then get the part listed below which has a 1 mile range.

RF2652A

If you want cellphone start then get this Drone mobile unit.

DR-3400 Module


You will need this also to program the setup via computer.

ADS-USB


All these products will work together and can be programmed easily with a computer. Also you can program when the heated seats come on temperature wise and also cooled seats. Also can program run length and other options.

Do you have any info on how to program the CMVWXA0? I have been unable to find a manual other than the install and owner's guide, neither of which have any details on programming beyond the basic start.

I have recently been looking into remote starting my 2012 A7 and thought this kit looked good, has anyone had any experience with this one?

I can get all the parts right now for under 500, any issues logging in website and programming module? Was wanting to go the same route and just have the cell phone start.
